Description:
This paper describes the development and comparison through a real-life implementation of dynamic extensions of the entropy-based gravity model of trip distribution for dynamic transport planning purposes in urban networks. The single dynamic gravity model (SDGM) accounts only for the inter-period (long-term) evolution of travel demand. The doubly dynamic gravity model (DDGM) takes into account both the inter-period and intra-period (short-term or within-day) evolution of travel demand. The computational analysis and explanation of the differences between the two models are demonstrated in relation to different demand inputs, model parameters and performance measures.
